Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers. The rules are fairly simple each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Future week’s themes are listed below – the list has been updated to help out those of you who like to plan ahead – if you have a cover in mind that you’re really wanting to share then feel free to leave a comment about a future suggested theme. This week’s theme:
‘I wandered lonely as a cloud’ – a cover featuring clouds
This week wasn’t two bad although I did have two books in mind but unfortunately they didn’t have alternative covers. My book this week is When the Heavens Fall (The Chronicles of the Exile #1) by Marc Turner? Check out the covers below:
My covers:
My favourite this week:

I just really like this one, everything seems to stand out, it’s very dramatic and it’s perfect for the theme. Which is your favourite?
Next week – a cover featuring eyes
